2005 Lodge Ordeal Weekend

The 2005 Shu-Shu-Gah Lodge Ordeal was again situated at Camp Keowa at TMR. On the Weekend of May 13-15, 40 new Brothers were inducted into our Order. Greatly needed service was provided to the camp when candidates set up tents and cots, moved old tent platforms, and stained several buildings. We awarded some of our annual awards and had the privildge of elevating 2 Brothers to the Vigil Honor.
